[quote=\"gdy2shoes\"]Dear All,


Firstly, thank you for this website. It's a lifesaver! :lovesite: My DD scored 233 with HMT Tamil (merit), am confused as to which schools to apply:

My choices are:
1.Crescent
2.TKGS
3.IJ Toa Payoh
4.SMSS
5.PLMGS
6.IJ STC

Given the fact that I intend to opt for third lang (i.e. Malay Special Programme) for my DD, is my choice of schools appropriate?,Kindly advise and many thanks in advance. :?: :?

assuming the cop for this year will be somewhat similar to last year, 233 is quite a few points off Crescent, IJ(TP) and SMSS. Chances are slim for these schools.

SMSS = st margaret's? SMSS has a higher COP than TKGS. so it is a bit weird to put smss as 4th choice. same for IJ(TP) too.

it will be better to push PLMGS and TKGS higher up your choice.

Hi Zeemimi, thank u for the advice, actually TKGS was initially after SMSS (st margarets), however the principal said that I would have to place TKGS as 1st or 2nd choice to appeal. As such, I will push TKGS n PLMGS up, this leaves me with 2 more blanks to fill up after removing IJ Toa Payoh n SMSS . Can you kindly suggest some schools please? :thankyou:[/quote]You could perhaps choose some school near where you stay.

My DD scored 218 in Sengkang area school. She wants to go CHIJ St Joseph, but COP is 227.

My preference is.. girls school, nearby and good 'O' level results. pls help me to find 3 girls schools and 3 mixed schools based on 218..

Some good schools don't have mother tongue, we have to go other schools after school hours to study MT, will it affect her studies?

What is your child's MT? All schools will have Malay & Chinese. There are only a
few co-ed schools in NE with COP of 218 & below. You can try Compassvale, Edgefield & Holy Innocents.

For a child with 214 and staying near tampines/ pasir ris, what would be a good recommendation? I think schools in bedok/ tampines/ pasir ris are within area of consideration.


Anyone familiar wtih Coral Sec? Is it good? Can't really see the academic performance from website. Read the success stories but it's mainly from ex-students who did well in poly....

MT is Tamil

[CatFlight29938]

Hi all. I am a student. I got 261. I put RGS as 1st choice and NJC as 2nd. Is it risky? Shld i change and put NJC as first choice?

[amaze]

My DD score is 218 and stay in Sengkang


My choices are:

1 CHIJ St Joseph-227
2 Payalaber methodist-233
3 Bowen-223
4 Compassvale-215
5 Edgefield-212
6 Sengkang-196

For choices 4 and 5 have no Tamil MT, so have to study MT in Sengkang Sec after school hours.

Any advice pls?
